About Us

At ACA Breeders we have been finding loving homes for our puppies for over 40 years. There have been enormous changes in the Pet Industry during this time.

We have led the changes, being the first to vaccinate and microchip all our pups and offering health guarantees. This is now law and all pet stores now offer these services. We still proudly exceed the terms of the Code of Practice.

The industry is well regulated and the details of every pup, their breeder and owner is detailed and sent to relevant authorities.

Purchasing from ACA gives you peace of mind. If there is a problem we are there to help, seven days a week. We have everything you need to help you give your new puppy the best start in life.

We hear stories weekly of people buying pups over the internet, meeting ‘breeders’ by the side of the road, without obtaining the sellers address. If a seller does not have an address, ask yourself why and how you would seek help if a problem arises? The word “breeder” means a person’s dog had puppies. It doesn’t imply or mean they know what they are doing or they are obligated in any way to give you assistance, correct advice or after care.

Every dog now bred began as a cross breed. Creating a certain standard “look” means that this look was placed ahead of other characteristics like temperament and health. We were amazed to see that the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel began as a pugalier when the King Charles spaniel was crossed with a pug to create this soft sweet natured dog in the 17th Century. . If a pure breeder comments on your choice of puppy, ask them the origins of their preferred breed. Unless they own a wolf or dingo I can assure you their dog began as a cross breed.

Every one of our puppies is vet checked, wormed, treated for fleas, bathed, vaccinated, microchipped and sold with a 14 day guarantee of free 24/7 treatment at our vets in Boronia, discounted de-sexing vouchers and discounted puppy class vouchers.

Our staff are all trained to help you make the right choice and to teach you about socialisation and training to raise a happy and obedient pet. Our staff gives you the same information that vets will give you, not “our opinions.”

Please feel free to contact any vet in our area as we are confident they will recommend us. Puppies are our business and we devote our shop to them and their owners – they are not a sideline.

Our shop is clean, bright, smells fresh and all cages individually heated and cooled. They are kept inside the shop, not in the window, and you will note how happy and healthy they are.

Our vets, Boronia Veterinary Hospital have been our vets for 40 years. With 16 vets they are well respected in Victoria, have many areas of expertise and have been instrumental in our breeding and educational programs. Our vets believe that introducing a new gene pool creates healthier puppies and we suggest you contact your own vet for their opinion.
